Chapter 815: Pill Formation in One Hundred Days
Li Li Ximing probed for a while, determined that Senior Tinglan had left, and started the Treasure Elephant Furnace to refine the pill. 【No-Kong Kong Gumo Water and Fire】 rolled under the furnace, and many spiritual medicines flew into the furnace one after another, melting one by one.
In the 【Heavenly One Spitting Essence Pill】, spiritual materials must be refined 18,600 times with 【No-Kong Kong Gumo Water and Fire】. This fire is not only a fire for alchemy but also one of the spiritual materials. He drew out another spiritual fire intertwined with cyan and blue and threw it into the furnace.
This was originally a hard work that would kill people. 【No-Kong Kong Gumo Water and Fire】 was not a fire used for alchemy. It was like refining pills with combined fire, not stopping until the spiritual materials were burned. There was one portion in the furnace, which was simply like charcoal falling into a quilt.
Li Li Ximing estimated that relying solely on himself, he could only refine it once or twice in an hour, and it would take two to four years. The workload was not generally large. This was still because he was used to refining simple and heavy alchemy methods since he was young. If it were someone else, it might take longer.
But Li Li Ximing had 【Valley Wind Fire-Drawing】, could refine true energy, and was good at controlling flames. With just one try, it was really easy, and he even had the energy to look at the true fire of the other furnace.
By the time the spiritual liquid in the furnace had been refined 18,600 times and the magic flames in the furnace had all been kneaded into it, the bottom of the furnace saw a gray area, which seemed to have the omen of Yin Water.
Li Li Ximing used 【No-Kong Kong Gumo Water and Fire】 to warm it up. Counting the days, it was less than half a year.
"【Heavenly One Spitting Essence】 type of alchemy method is actually quite suitable for me."
The 【River Furnace】 on the other side had turned into a fiery red color, and strands of pill fragrance drifted out, obviously about to form a pill. Li Li Ximing hurriedly freed a hand and released bright light.
"Buzz!"
A small and exquisite Heavenly Gate leaped out from his palm, with dragon flags and phoenix carriages, complex patterns, suspended in the cave dwelling, and the light shone brightly in all directions. It was his supernatural power body "Yetian Gate"!
Once "Yetian Gate" came out, the colorful light of supernatural powers rushed over like a waterfall, climbing and condensing along the walls of the entire cave dwelling, isolating all noise and fragrance.
Li Li Ximing considered this pill to be extraordinary, so he naturally had to deal with it well. He pushed his supernatural powers to the limit, suppressed everything, and observed that there was no one peeping in the Great Void, Senior Tinglan had not returned, and only then did he look at the furnace, with one hand still pressing on the 'Treasure Elephant Furnace'.
After all, 【Three-Waitings-Shu-Brother Xuan Fire】 could obediently warm the pill medicine for him, but 【No-Kong Kong Gumo Water and Fire】 did not have this patience and could not withdraw like before, leaving the pill medicine to be refined.
"Crack!"
The 【River Furnace】 on the side had already developed dense cracks, spreading upwards along the walls of the alchemy furnace like a spider web. Li Li Ximing pressed down with supernatural powers, and a layer of Bright Yang magic power surged up, stabilizing the alchemy furnace, and then heard a loud bang.
"Boom!"
The cave dwelling seemed to have been struck by thunder. After the loud noise, there was a silver-white light. Several points of luster leaped out from the furnace, quietly shuttling in the light, but how could they resist the search of supernatural powers? Li Li Ximing's face was filled with joy. He turned over a jade box from his sleeve and said straight:
"Come!"
Suddenly, everything silver-white surged over like water, pouring into the soft cushion of this jade box. All the fragrance and color disappeared at the same time, leaving only three pills the size of dragon eyes in the box.
These pills were milky white in color, painted with silver clear moon laurel patterns, surrounded by strands of silver-white brilliance. In this dim cave dwelling, they flickered like three stars, flickering on and off, making people like them as soon as they saw them.
Li Li Ximing didn't dare to use his hands, nor did he dare to use supernatural magic power to pinch them. He only used magic wind to hold them and observed them carefully.
'Break through, calm qi, nurture the magic body with cold moon clear spirit qi, increase life, contain the medicine in the mouth, and get a protection of Taiyin qi...'
Li Li Ximing did not refine pills according to a fixed pill recipe. Unlike ordinary pills, he knew what effect they had before they were refined. Now that he had obtained this pill by chance, he could only judge the general effect based on the fragrance and his own experience during refining.
'The effect of this pill on breaking through is just average for Bright Yang, but it is also a spiritual pill at the Early Zifu level. Nurturing the magic body with cold moon clear spirit qi... is useless for my Bright Yang magic body.'
'Increasing life is rare to see. It has a bit of the taste of forming a pill with life logic. It is also the first time in this life to see such a pill. As for the remaining protection, it is unclear.'
'In any case, it is better than all the pills I have refined in most of my life. Perhaps when 【Heavenly One Spitting Essence Pill】 is refined, it can be compared with this pill. Compared with it, the rest are all mediocre.'
He appreciated it carefully. Just the two effects of 【Breaking Through】 and 【Increasing Life】 were enough for him to treasure this pill. He laughed in his heart:
"If the Xi family who cultivates Taiyin in the Pure One Dao knew that I had this spiritual pill, wouldn't their eyes pop out? Nurturing the magic body with cold moon clear spirit qi, Taiyin qi in the mouth, I guess the Xi family would be so excited that they would cry."
"With this kind of Taiyin holy medicine in hand, Pure One Dao... I must think of a way to contact them."
Li Li Ximing had endless Taiyin moonlight. Even if he lost some, refining Taiyin-type spiritual pills was easy. At the moment, he covered the jade box, and the cold brilliance immediately disappeared. The cave dwelling became dim again, with only the color of 【No-Kong Kong Gumo Water and Fire】 flickering.
He swept the cave dwelling with a calm expression and considered cautiously in his heart:
'Since I have refined this holy medicine of the Taiyin lineage, according to reason, there must be a heavenly phenomenon, affecting the spiritual atmosphere of this place. Although I used supernatural powers to suppress and close it, the spiritual atmosphere will not disappear just because it is suppressed. When I release the supernatural powers, if some osmanthus flowers bloom in the sea, I won't be able to explain it.'
Even in the uninhabited outer sea, Li Li Ximing had to be vigilant at all times that someone was watching him, so he turned over his storage bag and took out a bright white flower.
This flower was a congratulatory gift when he was in Early Zifu. It was a spiritual item of the Solar lineage 【Tai Kui Flower】, which was not precious but rare. Li Li Ximing's brow flickered, bright light shone, purple flames rose, and this Solar spiritual item immediately turned into brilliance and dissipated.
"In this way, it should not be obvious."
He then released the supernatural powers, and sure enough, he saw the moon and stars in the sky. Apart from that, there was no other phenomenon.
He used supernatural powers to lock it again, looked at the River Furnace full of cracks with heartache, and muttered a few words:
"This thing is useless from now on. It is more commemorative than practical. If it is repaired, it needs to be recast, but it has changed its taste."
He just put it away, controlled the flames with one hand, and took out the "Body-Suppressing Tiger-Pass Treasure Sutra" to read. After three months, he finally saw movement outside the cave dwelling. After looking carefully, it was indeed Senior Tinglan who had arrived. She didn't want to disturb him, so she guarded outside.
Li Li Ximing estimated that the time was almost up, sent a message to let her in, and after dozens of breaths, he saw a middle-aged man enter the cave dwelling with an earth-escaping method cautiously.
"Daoist Can Zhaojing?"
Li Li Ximing nodded with a smile and replied:
"It has been refined!"
Senior Tinglan originally wanted to come over to help, but she was shocked when she heard this, and secretly thought in her heart:
'It seems I underestimated this True Person Can Zhaojing... He just broke through to Early Zifu, and his alchemy cultivation actually has a trend of surpassing the old True Person Su Mian. It is amazing. It is also... the first True Person of the Immortal Clan, how could he be a simple character?'
'Su Mian is the Tongxuan Daoist lineage, and he is also an old man who is gentle on the outside but cold-blooded on the inside. He is absolutely not a trustworthy person. Hengxing calculates too much and cannot owe her favors. Tianhuo has a playful heart and can divide one year's work into five years. Old True Person Shen Yuming is old. Li Li Ximing has protected Brother Xuan Yue before and after, which shows that this person values promises and is loyal and honest. If you want to refine pills secretly, you can't do without him in the future.'
'It's a pity that he is Bright Yang... I don't know what he will become in the future. I still have news about the life supernatural power in my hand, and I don't know if it's suitable to say.'
So she observed carefully and smiled:
"The Daoist friend is really a master of alchemy. It was me who underestimated you before. I'm really sorry!"
"What are you talking about!"
Li Li Ximing beckoned lightly, and the 【Treasure Elephant Furnace】 sitting on the fire expanded rapidly, and was held in his hand like an incense burner, smiling:
"Please!"
The two went out of the cave dwelling all the way. Senior Tinglan drove the purple cloud car, and the rabbit demon lifted the curtain for him and invited him into the carriage.
Li Li Ximing sat in the immortal carriage with slight surprise. The inside was very simple and plain. Two pieces of golden-yellow soft incense were lit in the incense burner in the center. Li Li Ximing held the 【Treasure Elephant Furnace】 in his hand, calm and composed.
Senior Tinglan was silent for a while, organized her words, and said:
"I looked for Ye Huai a few years ago. I asked him about something in the South Sea, and confirmed it with Zhu Gong. It is about Kong Kong Haiying."
"Back then, it was indeed Kong Kong Haiying who was in seclusion and breaking through in the Brother Xuan Yue mountain gate."
Li Li Ximing choked slightly. He had confirmed it back then. The person who was in seclusion in the cave dwelling was Fu En. He couldn't help but ponder for a while, and Senior Tinglan said:
"I... went to see Kong Kong Guxi. They all recognized the soul lamps of Fu En and Kong Kong Haiying wrong. Kong Kong Haiying's seclusion time was longer than we thought. The few times he appeared to see the younger generation of the Kong family later were also played by Fu En. The magic weapon that Fu En blood-refined was Kong Kong Haiying's."
Li Li Ximing's expression sank, and Senior Tinglan continued:
"It is not surprising that Daoist Can Zhaojing recognized it wrong, because what they said was wrong. The only old man Kong Kong Guli who had seen Kong Kong Haiying had his memory wiped, and the other old men died before and after. Senior Chang Xi missed only one old man named Kong Yu, but fortunately, he committed suicide on the spot."
Her words were cold, and her eyes were full of shock:
"Senior Chang Xi arranged it early, confusing the identities of the two. Perhaps they were originally prepared as scapegoats. Perhaps, after all, Kong Kong Haiying had been to Douxuan back then."
Senior Tinglan said this vaguely, but Li Li Ximing heard the unspoken words.
Ye Huai had seen Kong Kong Haiying. What is the significance of a substitute? Ye Huai wouldn't go to see Kong Kong Haiying personally? Then there is only the last possibility.
Senior Chang Xi coldly sent Kong Kong Haiying into Ye Huai's hands, and even kindly covered up Ye Huai and Li Li Ximing as Fu En.
Li Li Ximing was not as good at calculating as these people, but now that it was laid out nakedly, he couldn't fail to understand:
'After Chang Xi died, Ye Huai would definitely extend his butcher knife to the Kong family. Kong Kong Haiying must die. He not only had the hatred of killing his wife and exterminating his family, but also involved the secret of the Douxuan Daoist lineage. If he didn't die, the people who took in the Kong family wouldn't be at ease, and they wouldn't want to offend Ye Huai.'
'Kong Kong Haiying died, and Ye Huai would be willing to stop the butcher knife and consider whether it was worth continuing to persecute the Kong family. Ye Huai's attitude toward me improved greatly at that time, feeling that I had made some concessions, which was exactly for this reason!'
'Then Chang Xi's choice was cold from beginning to end. Kong Kong Haiying was in seclusion in the Brother Xuan Yue mountain gate. If he could succeed before the time Chang Xi died, then everyone would be happy. If not, he would become the compensation Chang Xi sent to Ye Huai.'
'The confusion of the two identities was mostly a stroke of leisure at the beginning, making Brother Xuan Yue advance and retreat, and also confusing the outside world, making people relax their vigilance against Kong Kong Haiying. I didn't expect Kong Kong Haiying to fail to cross the heart demon and sink for a long time, failing his expectations.'
'Later, this move was of no great use, and it was used to increase the chips in my Li Li Ximing's heart—after all, in my opinion, the one who died was Fu En, and Kong Kong Haiying was still in some corner, with great hope of breaking through to Early Zifu.'
'In the end, I didn't know where Kong Kong Haiying was, but I was the one who sent him out to be slaughtered!'
Li Li Ximing felt cold and shocked in his heart. For a long time, he couldn't speak. He sighed long and replied:
"Senior Chang Xi... regardless of the size of his supernatural powers, behind his back, whether it is cruel, cold, using, or treacherous, he uses all means to protect the clan... He is enough to see his ancestors without shame."
Senior Tinglan saw that he had sorted out the context, and said gloomily:
"As for the feelings of Kong Kong Haiying and Kong Yu, whether it is tears or sadness, only the senior knows in his heart. Did Kong Kong Haiying know when he was in seclusion? Did he acquiesce? Will Senior Chang Xi have a share of the credit for his failure to cross the heart demon?"
Li Li Ximing felt cold in his heart because of her words, and whispered:
"Senior Chang Xi... although he calculated me a lot, he taught me the same. He is ultimately worthy of respect."
Senior Tinglan's eyes stared quietly at the front, and the two autumn-yellow patterns on the corners of her eyes lit up. She supported her chin, looked out the window, and said softly:
"He is indeed respectable. After all, Early Zifu often has many attachments to the world before they have cultivated life supernatural powers. After life supernatural powers are achieved, especially Earth Virtue life supernatural powers, they all slowly let go. Sect is also, clan is also, just tools. Daoist lineage is also, master and apprentice is also, just steps to ascend to immortality."
"The Early Zifu of certain lineages... they either seek immortality wholeheartedly, or they are violent and arbitrary. The only thing that can be described is the word 'terrible'—Daoist Can Zhaojing, 'Heavenly Bright' is not a good reputation supernatural power."
The woman's voice echoed in the immortal carriage. The incense burner in the center released a cool fragrance. This smell was exactly the same as hers. It made people feel like they were in the autumn wind of the rice fields. Senior Tinglan's mask of clever words suddenly put down, revealing a kind of inexplicable worry:
"Daoist Can Zhaojing, you broke through the ignorance in a few years, and broke the infinite fantasy, which can be called top-notch. That is the karma of compromising, and seeing his heart is seeing the demon barrier, which is completely different. Before the Wei Wei Taizu proved the Dao, Bright Yang was not bright, and there are still traces of Lin Chan until now. Do you have the confidence to hold the life supernatural power?"
